Prank is unfunny

I always thought that pranks were supposed to be, uh, funny. But apparently, that's not always the case.
MARION, Ind. -- Ten to 15 people wearing masks left six 40-gallon trash bags full of taco sauce packets at a Taco Bell restaurant in what police described as a prank.

A note attached to the bags said the group had been accumulating them for the past three years, storing them in the trunk of a car, authorities said.

Police have suspended their investigation into the Tuesday night prank in the city about 50 miles northeast of Indianapolis without any arrests, said Marion Deputy Police Chief Cliff Sessoms.

"From everything we've got here, there doesn't appear that there has been any crime committed," he said. "It looks more like a prank than it does anything else, but not a very funny one because you've got that number of people coming in there with their faces covered up."
I beg to differ. The masked people aren't what make the prank unfunny. It wasn't funny because it was so incredibly fucking lame.

And actual police resources were used to investigate this? I'm glad Chief Sessoms was on the case, though. It takes a seasoned law enforcement professional to deduce that returning a bunch of hot sauce packets to a fast food restaurant isn't actually, you know, illegal.
